Happy Halloween!
Reading
We read a bunch of Halloween books this week and did some songs and activities with them. The students had a lot of fun with these. We did 2 poems this week called One, Two, Halloween Boo! and The 5 Little Pumpkins.
Jolly Phonics
We added the letters "b" and "j" this week to our sounds we learned. Ask your child what the actions are that go with the sounds. We added two new popcorn words as well- "at" and "on". Keep practicing your popcorn words at home. Point out the popcorn words in stories you read to your children as well. Then, when they are reading to self during daily 5 they will recognize those words and be proud that they can read them.
Handwriting
We did not get to handwriting this week. We will do some more letters next week.
Math
We did 2 days of centers this week doing Halloween activities. The children practiced counting up to 40 and 50 with puzzles, a bat picture, and a pumpkin picture. We also did some more Halloween counting books that were added to read to self book bag. Next week we are going to be practicing more with writing and identifying teen numbers.
Writing
We wrote and drew a picture about Dane who was our star student this week. We also made a spooky spider for Halloween!
